Chapter 16 Embroidery
Looking at the roasted bamboo rat, oil fell down drop by drop, and a small flame burst into the fire below. The few people wanted to have a feast immediately.?
?Which Zhang Meng looked at the few people with a funny look.
"We are not like you, you can eat these things often, so you don't care about them." Taohua glanced at Zhang Meng and said.
Zhang Meng's expression stopped, he put away his smile and said, "I didn't say anything."
Taohua suddenly felt very funny when she looked at the young man with a heroic look like a young wife who was wronged. She couldn't help laughing, and the wooden stick in her hand almost fell off. The swallow next to her also laughed. Si Ya stared at the bamboo rat, unable to hear what was said outside. She rarely ate meat. The meat at home was either eaten by a few brothers or eaten by her mother. If the three and grandfather had not given him some secretly, she would probably never know what the meat tasted. She didn't know if she could be assigned a little after a while.
Zhang Meng quickly reached out to hold the wooden stick in Taohua's hand. His hand accidentally touched Taohua's, and immediately shrank back as if it was burned.
Taohua didn't care, so she just looked at the bamboo rat in front of her, then picked up a small branch and poked the roasted yellow bamboo rat, happily shouting at Mingsheng and Saburo who were catching fish in the stream, "Mingsheng Saburo, come and eat it after baking."
Then Zhang Meng took out a dagger and divided the three bamboo rats. Taohua saw Si Ya squatting blankly and handed her a piece of calf meat and said, "Eat quickly."
Si Ya asked foolishly in her dull hands: "Is it for me?"
Taohua had already bitten hard in her mouth and said in a speechless manner: "Eat quickly, otherwise the rest will be snatched away by them." As she said that, she ordered some voracious Mingsheng and Saburo who were eating with her hands.
Si Ya said "um" hard, then ate it big, but her heart was full of warmth.
Three bamboo rats stretched the belly of several children, and then sat lazily beside the thick tree roots. The afternoon sun was extremely warm, and the peach blossoms couldn't help but dozed off.
"Brother Zhang Meng, will you still get bamboo rats for us in the future?" Ming Sheng asked.
"Okay, I'll make you deer to eat in the future, it's delicious." Zhang Meng said, his expression no longer had the arrogance he had before. After getting familiar with it, this boy was not difficult to get along with.
"I'm there," Saburo said in a hurry.
"Okay." Zhang Meng agreed.
In the afternoon, Zhang Meng helped Taohua and the others pick up firewood. Before leaving, Ming Sheng reluctantly invited him: "Brother Zhang Meng, go to our house to play when you have time in the future. The spicy shrimp made by my third sister is delicious."
"Really?" Zhang Meng looked at Taohua.
Taohua glared at Mingsheng, looked at Zhang Meng and said, "Well, come and play often when you have time."
"Okay!" Zhang Meng agreed.
Taohua rolled her eyes, but she didn't ask him for help, why did she look very reluctant?
"Did you put those pheasants in the trap?" Taohua took the opportunity to whisper.
Zhang Meng said "Ah?", then scratched his head awkwardly, and said with his side and left and right, "I'll leave first." Then he ran towards home.
After being in the peach blossoms, he would be stunned, so he took Mingsheng home.
After returning home, Mingsheng excitedly described Zhang Meng's awesomeness and extraordinaryness to Zhang Shi and Li Hua, and even held Taohua to testify.
Kim Dae-chung and Jingsheng, who had already arrived, were also surprised when they heard this.
Jingsheng said: "I know him, but I'm not very familiar with him. He doesn't often travel around the village on weekdays."
Jin Dazhong pondered: "The Zhang Meng you are talking about should be the son of Zhang Dong, the hunter you lived in the east end of the village. I heard that he was extremely powerful when he was born, and he was very powerful since he was a child. I have seen him several times, and he is indeed very powerful."
"That shouldn't be wrong. Zhang Meng can lift a big stone weighing nearly 100 kilograms at once." Taohua nodded and said.
Then the family sighed again. There are countless strange people in the world. Zhang Meng was so powerful at such a young age. If he grew up for two years, he was afraid that the most powerful blind bear in the mountains would not be his opponent. Taohua was thinking about the words Zhang Meng said he wanted to catch the deer for them to eat. Maybe it was not bragging. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a little expectant.
A few days later, Zhang and Lihua finally completed all the embroidery pieces in the first few days of Laba, and some were embroidered with cloth clothes they bought for Zhang. So they planned to sell them to the city the next day, and then buy some New Year's goods back. Because of the lessons learned from the last time at the market, Jin Dazhong went out to borrow a cart in advance this time.
Zhang looked at the cart parked in the yard and asked Kim Dazhong: "Why does this car look so familiar?"
"I originally wanted to borrow from Lao Li's family, but who knew I met my father. I heard that we went to the city tomorrow, so I asked me to go home and pull the cart back, saying that if there is any one in my family, I don't have to borrow someone else, and if it's broken, it has to be repaired for someone." Jin Dazhong said carefully at Zhang's face.
"Oh. That's what he said." Zhang nodded and went to the kitchen.
Peach blossoms touched the shrimps that had been dry for a few days, and felt that they were dry. So they put them in a clean clay pot and placed them in the cupboard. They told Zhang that they could put some soup, porridge or stir-frying, which was more delicious. Zhang smiled and nodded, while Peach blossoms mocked Peach blossoms for being a foodie. They knew how to eat all day long. Peach blossoms didn't agree with it. It has been said that since ancient times, food and sex are also human nature. Eating is human nature. People live just for a mouth. But she just muttered this in her heart.
The next day, the whole family was packed up and went to the city. Zhang originally wanted to guard the door at home, but was pulled by Taohua and Lihua.
"Whether there are any gold and silver mountains at home? What's the point of view?" Taohua said: "Don't stay at home all the time. Go out for more walks if you have time."
"That's it. I didn't go shopping last time." Lihua also said: "I sold it too much this time, so let's go shopping."
Zhang looked at Jin Dazhong, then smiled and nodded and said, "Okay, OK."
So Kim Dazhong asked Zhang and Lihua Taohua Mingsheng to sit on the cart, and he pulled them. Zhang and the others disagreed and said they wanted to go downstairs and let him keep some strength, so he would feel tired when he came back.
The family was happily on the road. Mingsheng ran around happily around the cart. Zhang and Peach Blossoms happily discussed the latest news they saw in the city last time. On the way, there were people from the same village who were all greeting each other. The wind blew from the mountains and forests in the distance, bringing a refreshing feeling. The surrounding fields were green. When the wind passed, the waves were like the ocean.
Before we reached the city gate, people became dense and rushed from villages from all directions to buy New Year's goods.
The family went to the embroidery workshop first and prepared to sell the embroidery so that they could have money to buy things.
When they arrived at the embroidery workshop, Jin Dazhong and Jing Shengmingsheng were still waiting outside the door. Zhang's mother and mother went inside, found Xiao Cui and handed over the embroidery in the bag.
Xiao Cui looked carefully and saw an embroidered handkerchief embroidered with sunflowers. She couldn't help but say in surprise: "Why do you have such a trick?"
"What's wrong?" Zhang asked nervously. This was the peach blossoms that asked to embroider. She said that she always embroidered some plum blossoms and lotus leaves, so she changed her appearance and asked to embroider some other patterns. She didn't agree very much at the time, but she was unwilling to go against her daughter's wishes. If she couldn't sell, she would keep them for herself. She looked at the patterns as well.
"It's nothing, I just haven't seen it before. It looks pretty good. Did you think it yourself?" Xiao Cui asked indifferently.
"No." Taohua rushed to answer, quietly pulled Zhang's sleeve, and said to Xiao Cui: "It was embroidered by a grandmother in our neighboring village. I looked good and asked my mother to embroider one for me, but I didn't expect that my mother took it wrong. Sister Xiao Cui, we don't sell this, I used it myself."
"Oh, that's it." Xiao Cui said this, but her hand turned around and looked at the embroidered handkerchief. On the white cotton cloth with four corners, a circle of leaves were embroidered on the corners. Two bright yellow sunflowers were embroidered at the diagonal position, either fluttering in the wind or bowing their heads to ponder, looking very vivid and unique. I am used to seeing plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemums on weekdays, but suddenly I saw the plants everywhere in the countryside. I felt novel and intuitive. She thought this would definitely be easier to sell.
"Sister Taohua, why not sell this to your sister and let your mother embroider some more for you." Xiao Cui squatted down and said to Taohua with a smile.
